Shane’s Free Pick

I don’t trust the Rangers bats and they are going to struggle again in this game. Cecconi has been good and he sits with a 3.34. Montgomery also has a low ERA of 3.30 and although the record isn’t the best, I expect the Diamondbacks are going to struggle to get going here. Even though these two teams are good offenses, they are both going to struggle here. Back the under to cash here.
